About the role
SpaceX was founded on the belief that a future where humanity explores the stars is fundamentally more thrilling than one where we do not. Today, SpaceX is at the forefront of developing the technologies necessary to make this vision a reality, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.
Senior Network Engineer - Starshield
The Starshield project harnesses SpaceX’s groundbreaking Starlink technology and launch capabilities to bolster national security initiatives. While Starlink caters to consumer and commercial markets, Starshield is dedicated to government applications, initially focusing on earth observation, secure communications, and hosted payloads. The Starshield team is committed to building highly reliable in-space mesh networks, creating secure systems to ensure access to space, and developing next-generation communication and sensing software.
As a Senior Network Engineer, you will spearhead the operation, construction, and deployment of the Starshield service provider network, integral to supporting critical national security missions. You and your team will take ownership of the network design and will be accountable for proposing and implementing ongoing enhancements to expand capabilities and clientele. You will also play a key role in monitoring and enhancing network security, optimizing performance and reliability, and streamlining network deployments.
